President's Associates
President's Associates are those who demonstrate their commitment to excellence in higher education through annual gifts of $1,000 or more in a fiscal year. Benefits include:

• Invitations to exclusive special events.
• Recognition in WSU publications.
• Newsletters from the WSU Foundation.  
• The satisfaction of knowing that your support advances a world-class university.

Matching Gift Companies
Many companies will match their employees' tax-deductible donations to Washington State University. Find out if your company participates.

Endowments
Endowments provide perpetual annual support for the area of your choice. Endowments can support everything from scholarships and research to distinguished professorships and lectureships.  There are a number of ways to do an endowment, for more information, click here.

Planned Giving
Many WSU alumni and friends consider including the University in their estate plan so they can continue their annual gift in perpetuity, or to make a special gift not possible during their lifetime. This can be accomplished through a will or living trust bequest or by designating WSU as a beneficiary in your life insurance or qualified retirement plan. Find out more.
